The GNU gprofng GUI is a feature rich graphical user interface for the GNU
gprofng tool. It makes it possible to interactively analyze and compare gprofng
profiling experiments. Users can drill into an applications profile together
with the applications code to gather an understanding and insight into
what an application is doing throughout it's runtime.

The GUI is a Java application utilizing the Swing GUI framework.
